My two daughters just love getting ready each week for their ballet and jazz classes. The teachers are very professional, hardworking and attentive to all students. We love seeing the girls dance and the concerts are amazing!! It is a great way for the girls to make friends and have a healthy approach to exercise. Amy, the principal is always friendly and approachable, she does an outstanding job running the school and teaching. From my experience, the parents are friendly and there isn't a competitiveness that can steer people away from dance schools. They also hold fun weeks at the end of each term which the girls love too!

My daughter started with Blakehurst Academy about 9years ago, she is now 14years old. The teachers and the principal have been encouraging throughout all her years. She looks forward to her classes every week, even though sometimes school homework can be stacked on. She finds the dance classes of jazz & tap quite challenging & enjoyable. Also she has joined other dance genres such as ballet &hip hop, but has continued with jazz & tap from the beginning. The dance teachers are highly professional & committed to their students. The end of year concert is something we all look forward to. Amy is organised with lists for the concert from undergarments to make up.We have professional photo shoots and DVDs of the concert.This Academy thinks of everything!!! The principal, Amy with the teachers are mindful of the styles of the costumes & the cost. Amy is very approachable and understands the pressures that families face. I highly recommend this Academy for its professionalism & enthusiasm in keeping teenage girls interested in dance as a great way to keep fit. -Marie

My little girl looks forward to her ballet and jazz class, and the principal Amy is very engaging with the kids, they love her. This is our third year running now with the Academy, and it's great to see variety of classes has been added to the timetable based on demand. Classes such as Little Glee and acrobatics for example. This is what a good performance school should provide you - a one stop shop - no need to look elsewhere and I'm sure this will continue on an annual basis. Just wish there more days in the week and less homework haha! You will love the sell-out concert, quality costumes and professional photos, all providing the family and your child with some wonderful memories for years to come.

Every year the yearly concerts are a stand out and are professionally run and planned well ahead of time. The kids look forward to it every year for the chance to shine on stage..Not to mention their professional photos that they have done every year wow!
The girls also have the opportunity to compete in Eisteddfod's which they have done exceptionally well at. Looking forward to many more years!!!

They make every lesson fun! It feels like one big family. All the students are lovely and help each other out when needed. Not only do we get to perform at the end of year concert, but there are show cases, eistedfods and workshops as well. It is a great experience and everyone from the tiny tots to the adults love it!

Back for some more as an adult!

I previously danced with Blakehurst Performing arts for 10 years, due to schooling commitments I gave it up. But when I thought about coming back to dancing it was the obvious place for me to return.

My little girl really looks forward to her jazz and ballet dancing classes every Sat morning. The teachers work really hard. It amazes me every year how quickly the girls learn their long dance routines. The Academy is very professional and well organised. The end of year concerts are terrific which is why they are just about fully booked every year. The individual and class photos in their concert costumes, concert DVDs and concert programs with all the girls' names written inside are all priceless and will be cherished forever.
